Chapter 330 Who Are You Calling a Mongrel? (7000 Words)
When Liu Shuo booked the restaurant, Moonlight Tower only had this one big private room left, which could accommodate over a hundred people. Of course, it's certain that more than a hundred people came to eat this time.
Mainly, those who hung out with Liu Shuo were mostly riffraff. After making a name in Jinling with Liu Shuo, they went back home and bragged, attracting countless people who wanted to see the world.
The matter was reported to Liu Shuo.
And naturally, Liu Shuo, being rich and assertive, said to invite them all over!
So not only did he book a big private room this time, but he also reserved two separate rooms.
Liu Shuo just came out to make an appearance and then, as the second-in-command of the Xu Huai Association, say a few words.
However, Liu Shuo wouldn't say much, at most something like, "Everyone, enjoy your food and drink!"
Let's make the Xu Huai Association bigger and stronger together, and create more glory!
"Good!"
Liu Shuo's simple words excited the audience, who applauded. About thirty people in the private room came to see the spectacle. There were both men and women, some still in high school, while others had dropped out and were hanging out in billiard rooms daily. Witnessing such a grand 'gang' meeting, they were thrilled.
Then it was time to introduce them to Liu Shuo. In fact, they were all veteran riffraff, with no real standing.
But Liu Shuo wasn't a saint either, and could chat with these people.
Now he even disdained these veteran riffraff, thinking, what the hell do you think you are? What kind of scene have you ever seen? I can organize over a thousand people in no time, okay!?
Liu Shuo just sat there drinking and bragging with that group.
People like Jin Kai and Zhao Rui didn't have the status to talk to Liu Shuo. They weren't even riffraff, just students, at best tagging along with Xie Lei to pretend to be social figures, holding their glasses and toasting, trying to make connections with 'important people'.
In the end, they could only get to know some of Liu Shuo's thugs, as one particular bodyguard, who was burly and attended the same school as Liu Shuo, was often brought by Liu Shuo's side.
Speaking of this burly bodyguard, he's going to start his internship this year. He was a bully back in high school, two grades ahead of Liu Shuo. Initially, he was showing off in the group chat, feeling discontent toward Liu Shuo, thinking, "Liu Shuo, a freshman, dares to provoke me; if you dare, let's have a showdown!"
Fine, let's do it! Do you think I have no backup?!
Then they planned a showdown on the sports field that night. Xu Wei brought classmates from two dorms, claiming to teach the newly arrived Liu Shuo a lesson.
At that time, it was just a few days after Zhou Yuwen sold phone cards. That night, Zhou Yuwen treated two classes to a barbecue, establishing a good rapport.
Later, whenever Liu Shuo wanted to fight, gathering thirty to fifty people was no problem.
Thus, others initially thought pinching a freshman would be easy.
Unexpectedly, it turned out they were the ones easily dealt with.
But Liu Shuo was indeed good at mixing in. He had his people surround Xu Wei and his group, saying: "I'm not picking on you! You come out and fight me one-on-one, and after you lose, don't call anymore!"
"Whoever cries uncle is the grandson!"
That night, the two fought.
Xu Wei was also burly, but how could he compare to Liu Shuo, who had a dumb courage about him?
Within three moves, Liu Shuo had Xu Wei pinned down, directly asking, "Convinced, or not?!"
After this incident, Xu Wei didn't immediately start following Liu Shuo, after all, how embarrassing would that be.
Besides, in college, no one really talks about these things.
Isn't it all about making money later on?
This is the reality. As kids, we could watch "Young and Dangerous" all day, calling each other brothers and dreaming of establishing our own empire, but once you enter society, take a few blows, and you'll know life isn't easy.
No matter how much Xu Wei might be a scoundrel, in society, he'd still need to be taught to be a better person.
Then, since Xu Huai Association pays the highest part-time rate, no matter how tough Xu Wei pretended to be, he eventually came over.
Finally, Liu Shuo with a smile resolved their grudges.
As time passed, Xu Wei had to bow his head and call him bro.
Initially, it was certainly uncomfortable.
But over time, calling him brother became natural.
Now Xu Wei respects Liu Shuo a lot, earning hundreds a day during the first few days of winter break helping Liu Shuo gather people. Whenever Liu Shuo needed something, he still called Xu Wei, who now calls Brother Shuo more affectionately than anyone.
Once had the opportunity to meet Zhou Yuwen several times.
He was also big and burly, with a broad back, but being accustomed to hearing praises about Zhou Yuwen from people around Liu Shuo, Xu Wei was actually nervous the first time he saw Zhou Yuwen.
Cautiously hoping Zhou Yuwen would favor him.
After all, if favored, he could truly rise to prominence, just like Gao Yang at the neighboring school, who's now the manager at Xianlin Labor, while he himself doesn't even know where to work part-time.
Sometimes Xu Wei wondered if Zhou Yuwen could take him as a protégé and nurture him, he would definitely be that what's it called, oh right! A man would die for a confidant!
Many in Xu Huai Association had similar thoughts.
However, Zhou Yuwen didn't know, and even if he did, he wouldn't say anything.
That's just how teenagers are, switching ideas in a heartbeat.
Zhou Yuwen understood all too well.
Xie Lei brought Jin Kai and a few others to find Xu Wei, who was dining there.
Called out, "Brick Brother."
"Brick Brother, these are my brothers; they want to join the Xu Huai Association."
As a trusted hand of Liu Shuo, Xu Wei had a bit of temper, snorted, glanced at Jin Kai and his group, looking all rebellious; there was even a girl with dyed yellow hair.
Where did these off-the-mainstream villagers come from?
"Humph, do you think Xu Huai Association is just a place for any Tom, Dick, and Harry?!" Xu Wei said.
